View the film clip from Molly and Mobarak (2003) about how Hazara refugees are trying to be accepted and belong in the town of Young, and respond as a class to these questions:

1. How would it feel to be a migrant in a new land; possibly isolated by language, culture and prejudice?
2. One of the Young residents at the local pub says ‘We don’t want them here.’ Is his attitude typical of Australians towards migrants?
3. Is his attitude and that of others in the town sparked by prejudice or ignorance?
